Führer Directives and Führer Orders

ww2dbaseFührer Directives were instructions and strategic plans issued by Adolf Hitler. These instructions superseded laws of the German government as Hitler was considered to be above the law. The first directive was issued in 1939 and the last, number 52, was issued in 1943.

Führer Orders were issued later in the war. They tended to be less strategic and more specific in nature. ww2dbase
